Theof the ministers and vice ministers have just ended, and Charlton was just about to leave when Marquis Christopher Cross, the vicewith other vice e, to join him for afternoon tea which his mother hosted in their ducalof the invite was clear as the afternoon tea was hosted for debutantes Attending would mean that one was interested to find a match this season

Last year, Charlton was also invited by the Marquis to the saer remember Now, since he knew that Serena was in attendance and he wanted to see her, he had decided to accept

Aside froo Cobalt the VM of defense, and Earl Dante Winston the VM of health, also agreed to attend Of the current 8 Vice Ministers, they were the ones close in age and were bachelors

As the 5 of them have their own cars, they all convoyed towards the Cross ducal mansion and arrived there in 15 olden bachelors now decided that it's time to find a match this season, eh?" Earl Dante Winston teased The five of the their cars

(AN: just in case you're wondering Although Dante and Hugo's rank in the peerage as earls were lower than that of the marquis, they were also sons and heirs of dukes, and aside from that, they were of equal rank to the other 3 as vice ministers So, they can joke with each other)

Although duke Winston and duke Cobalt disliked grand duke Charles, their sons did not necessarily hate Charlton Charlton was very easy to get along with, he was humble despite his achieve in s so so of finding a match just yet and am just here to see my sister" Leonard clarified

Christopher chuckled then looked at Charlton, his father wanted to otiations for hertheir fa for trouble, but his father was asking for trouble in the first place

Although their family has a neutral position in court before, he has been offended by what the king did They were halfway in the negotiations and then suddenly, his daughter was snubbed for the daughter of the Maxwell This caused hiears and join the radical faction secretly Of course, that has not been announced so that they can still switch sides later to whichever faction inning

However, from the Charlotte's ball, Charlton chose to dance with Ms Evans before the interlude It seems that he was interested, and he can somewhat understand why Ms Emily Evans was a beauty with talent while his sister in co It doesn't h What was important was that Charlton seems like he was ready for a hter and insignificant

"How about you Charlton? Are you here for one? I sa you danced with Ms Evans at the Charlotte's ball Was it her that you're here for?" Hugo asked, his two eyebroiggling

Charlton shook his head while s for a ht as well let that piece out, he was intending to propose to Serena by the end of the season He has decided to talk to hisEveryone knew that he would be awarded the ainst Geoffrey be da favors him, and Geoffrey was still just a crown prince If he dares lay a hand on hiht hi his distance from Serena was so that people would not talk and so that Geoffrey would not get wind of it prematurely

Leonard furrowed his broith Charlton's words Was he going to make the move soon? His father was under Geoffrey's faction, and he knew that Geoffrey's influence in the court noas not to be trifled with However, he knew that so was Charlton's

Leonard has already worked in the court hi has already changed fro was above all, but he still needed his vassals There was a chance that the king would allow it to happen as Charlton has proved himself valuable The only proble yet

Anyway, if worse coe that the radicals have been pushi+ng for seems attractive to him anyway

"Ha! All the ladies would surely have a field day if they heard you say that Then again, you're here now, so I guess all of the

Christopher took note of what Charlton said A confirmation was better than just mere assumptions
